Elise Johns '18, environmental geoscience major in the Department of Geosciences, was recently named a recipient of the Orr Fellowship. 

With an acceptance rate of slightly over 5%, the Orr Fellowship (http://orrfellowship.org) is a highly selective post-graduate opportunity that pares down thousands of applications to identify outstanding students and match them with innovative host companies in the Indianapolis area. The fellowship provides a two-year, symbiotic relationship between students and host businesses that helps foster development of these students into tomorrow's business leaders.

Elise has accepted an offer from KAR Auction Services, a global wholesale used vehicle company.  Congratulations Elise...we are very proud of you!
